Remote Control
Description: The VCR’s remote control can operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan VCR’s.
Requirements: Point the remote control at the VCR and press VCR, then POWER, to see if the VCR can be operated.
One Touch Recording (OTR)
Description: OTR quickly records the remaining portion of a program already in progress. OTR is a great way to capture the end of a sporting event that has run into overtime or a live broadcast that runs long.
Requirements: Repeatedly press the RECORD button on the VCR front panel or REC/OTR on the remote control to set the desired duration of time to record.
Timer Recordings
Description: Your VCR allows you to program up to eight different future broadcasts to be recorded. You can catch a one-time, daily, or weekly broadcast to record.
Requirements: The VCR’s clock must be set correctly. A tape with its safety tab in place and enough tape to record a program must be inserted into the VCR. For a cable box or satellite receiver, turn it on and tune it to the channel you want to record before the recording is to begin.

Front Audio/Video Input Jacks |
|
Description: The VCR has Audio/Video (A/V) input jacks on both the front and rear of the unit (there are output jacks on the rear panel only). The front A/V jacks make it easy to plug in an external A/V device, such as a camcorder.
Requirements: Make sure that all A/V connections are snug. To see a connected device’s image, turn the VCR to its Video Line Input by pressing the remote control’s INPUT button. Select L1 to select the jacks on the back of the VCR or select L2 to select the jacks on the front of the VCR.

Child Lock Protection System
Description: Locks the VCR so that buttons on the front panel and remote control won’t operate the VCR. This feature protects timer programs from frustrating accidents such as being left on at the time of recording.
Requirements: Lock the VCR by pressing and holding the POWER button on the remote control for six seconds. The front panel display will blink for several seconds. The VCR unlocks by pressing and holding the POWER button on the remote control, again for six seconds. The front panel display will blink again and release the lock on the system.

Connections & Setup
Things to Consider Before Connecting
Components
Protect Components From Power Surges
•Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.
•Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference
•Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
•Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the back after connecting components.
•Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as much as possible.
•Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet packed with your unit for detailed information.
Protect Components From Overheating
•Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
•Do not stack components.
•Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.
•Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top shelf of a stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around other components.
Cable Considerations
The RF coaxial cable supplied with your VCR carries both sound and picture information. This is the cable used in all connection diagrams in this chapter.
If your TV has A/V input jacks, you should use A/V cables (not supplied) to connect the VCR to the TV. A/V cables provide better picture and sound quality than an RF coaxial cable. If you would like to hook up your VCR using A/V cables, refer to the Advanced Connection information on page 41 in the Other Information chapter of the manual.

Connections & Setup
Set the VCR’s CH 3/4 Switch
The CH 3/4 switch on back of the VCR determines what channel the TV must be tuned to see the VCR’s image. Choose whichever channel is not used locally in your area.
Note: If you connected components using A/V jacks and cables, the VCR’s signal must be viewed using the TV’s Video Line Input. To find the Video Line Input, refer to the manual that came with the TV or see Finding the TV’s Video Line Input on page 40 in the Other Information section of this manual.
Plug in the VCR
Be sure to insert the plug completely.
Put Batteries in the Remote Control
1.Remove the battery compartment cover on the remote control.
2. Insert new batteries matching the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram in the battery compartment.
3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.
Turn on the TV and VCR
Turn on the TV and press VCR, then POWER, on the remote control to turn on the VCR.
Note: If you have an RCA, GE, or Proscan TV, your VCR’s remote control may be able to operate it. Press the TV button on the remote control and then the POWER button.
Tune the TV
Tune the TV to the VCR viewing channel. The VCR viewing channel is channel 3, 4, or the TV’s video line input.
•If you connect your VCR using RF coaxial cable only, turn the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever was set on the CH 3/4 switch).
•If you connected the VCR using A/V jacks and cables, select the TV’s video line input. For more information see Finding the TV’s Video Line Input on page 40 in the Other Information section of this manual.

Playing a Tape
1.Tune the TV to your VCR viewing channel (03, 04, or the video line input).
2.Insert a tape in the VCR.
If the Auto Play feature is set to ON, the tape automatically begins playback (if the safety tab on the tape is removed).

or 
on the remote) to cue the tape at the desired starting position.
•Press PLAY (
on the remote) if necessary, to begin tape play.
•Press PLAY again on the VCR ( 
on the remote) for stop action.
•Press CHANNEL•TRACKING up or down (CH/TRK up or down on the remote control) to remove any streaks from the picture, if necessary.
•Press STOP•EJECT ( 
on the remote) to stop playback.
Automatic Rewind
The VCR automatically rewinds the tape if it reaches the end of the tape during playback. While rewinding, you can press the POWER button and the VCR will turn off after finishing. If the tape has no safety tab, it will be ejected.
Tape Eject
Press STOP•EJECT (EJECT on the remote) when stopped to eject the tape.
Recording
To Capture Programming with Basic Recording Methods:
1.Set the tape speed by pressing the SPEED button on the remote control (see Recording Speed on page 26 for information about recording speeds).
2.Press RECORD (REC/OTR on the remote) to begin recording.
3.Press STOP•EJECT ( 
on the remote) to halt recording.
If you just want to pause the recording for a short time (like during a commercial), press 
on the remote instead of STOP.
|

|
|
No matter which recording option you use, make sure there is a tape in the |
|
|
VCR with its safety tab in place. You cannot record on a tape with its safety tab |
|
Safety Tab |
removed. If the safety tab is removed and you want to record, simply cover the |
